Volunteers are at the core of the Strand-Capitol Performing Arts Center’s operation and a vital component to the overall success of this facility. Each and every Strand-Capitol volunteer offers their own individual contribution to the center whether they are assisting patrons to their seats, serving refreshments, folding letters, making copies or offering a “Welcome” and a smile. But at the heart of every Strand-Capitol volunteer is one common trait: a passion for the arts in the community.
Memorialize a loved one, an organization, event or special occasion with a personalized inscription on the chair arm.
When you attend an event at the Strand Theatre, have a look at the many names inscribed on the seats throughout the auditorium. Each named chair arm represents a donation made by individuals and businesses in support of the Strand-Capitol and in appreciation of the importance of the performing arts in York and south central Pennsylvania. These donors have played a major role in supporting the Strand-Capitol and you can, too.
Seats are still available for underwriting. We invite you to join many others and make a lasting gift to the Strand-Capitol Performing Arts Center, while at the same time recognizing, honoring or memorializing a loved one, a business or an organization or someone special – even yourself.
A named seat can be a unique gift to recognize a special occasion. You can be sentimental or clever when selecting your personalized message on your seat(s). Messages may simply be your name or might start with:
Presented by… In honor of… In memory of… Remembering special nights together…
Underwriting a seat is a tax-deductible $2,500 donation. Download our Take Your Seat order form and mail it to the Strand-Capitol with your contribution. If you have any questions or would like to order over the phone, please call the Development Office at 717-846-1155. Gifts may be paid in full or with an annual payment of $500 over five years. Pledges may be paid by cash, check, charge or gift of stock.
Whatever inscription you choose, your gift will benefit the Strand-Capitol endowment fund and will support York’s beautiful, historic venues forever.
